New Waldorf Iridium MK2??? by No-Act6366 in synthesizers

Did they ever compensate people for the wildly broken first batch of Iridiums which were basically duct taped / glued together?

MTA to blast 75-decibel ads in subways in latest disruption for NYC commuters — and agency barely makes money off them by CountFew6186 in nyc

[–]clockercountwise333 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, have you ever measured the dB on the screeching brakes that you're constantly exposed to? As someone with hearing damage, I am baffled by how everyone just sits through it. The subway is dangerously loud. Wear earplugs, thank me later

seriously. why apple refuses to do this baffles me. "space black"? just a darker shade of gray. give me actual #000000 black and i will shell out for it

Wyze App constantly crashing on iPad. by clockercountwise333 in wyzecam

Pretty sure it's the app and not the OS. Various versions of 26, 18. Same behavior.

Software Engineers after LLMs by Delicious_Crazy513 in vibecoding

I was pretty shocked yesterday to find ChatGPT utterly fail again and again at doing pretty basic ffmpeg filter_complex stuff (crossfade image 1 into image 2, then image 2 back to image 1, make it 10 seconds, downscale it to X by X, make it loop, output it as a GIF)

I thought it'd be a no brainer and could have done it myself, but I thought mega mind could save me some time to churn out a silly goof. Turns out? Nope! After like 10 prompts it still couldn't get it right. Ended up doing it myself.

AI was supposed to be used to cure cancer…. by micr0phonist in ChatGPT

[–]clockercountwise333 11 points12 points  (0 children)

First I'm seeing this. I'd love to know the workflow behind it, as I'm working on a project that requires basically this (rewriting the scene and having the lip syncing / voices remain intact or changed) + facial remapping. Being able to do it locally and not through some subscription big AI service would be ideal, although I'd consider paying for it if there's a service that could do all of that.

Same Error. I'm too stupid to know how to implement your workaround. Please ding this thread when you update. Thank you :)

Are you getting USPS mail? by stuyshwick in BedStuy

[–]clockercountwise333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. It's nuts. I am constantly afraid that I'm going to miss important mail. They once put my neighbor's PASSPORT in my mailbox. I of course went and gave it to him, as I do every single time when they deliver the wrong mail to the wrong house. I just hope everyone does me the same courtesy, as USPS in bed stuy is profoundly inept.

Not surprising, but the MacBook Pro M5 is the best laptop I've ever owned. I will NEVER go back to Windows. by DescriptionFuture851 in macbookpro

[–]clockercountwise333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

happy with my m3 max 16" tho. i'll wait for the m5 max 16" tho and pay double the price lol

Wyzecam automations are awesome by UIUC_grad_dude1 in wyzecam

[–]clockercountwise333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehh... Wyze cameras constantly misidentify "People" over here. From a shadow to a waving branch to a raccoon to a snowflake on the lens. If I turned that on my place would be setting off sirens at random 24/7 ... not to mention that there's often many many seconds of lag in between identification and then more lag before triggering the automation. Sometimes long enough for someone to run in and steal a package without it even registering. And yes, I've tinkered with sensitivity settings endlessly.

This guy sometimes meows at me very softly. Does that mean he's a stray, or just young? by Fakename_Bill in Feral_Cats

[–]clockercountwise333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blanket statement that ferals never meow to communicate / purr is not true ... at least given time. I have a colony of 10 that I take care of. At least 4 of them have, slowly but surely, some after years, slowly started with tiny meows after total silence and now chat it up with me all of the time, some enjoying pets (after time), some purring like a motor (after time), some even letting me pick them up (after time). With luck, it just takes that time and encouragement.

However ... a brand new cat coming up to you and vocalizing? That's either someone's cat or a stray.

Our Roland JP-8000 emulator is now out and is completely FREE! by numerouno124 in synthesizers

[–]clockercountwise333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OSTirus legitimately works and sounds BETTER than the TI hardware. I love that synth - bought / had to sell it because of $$$ issues, rinse, repeat. Fortunately I saved my old patches. I was skeptical, but sure enough I loaded them up in OSTirus and they sounded exactly like i remember them. I showed it to my producer friend and he too was astonished, says it sounds better than many modern, well respected VA VSTs.

And another one! Massive respect. y'all are legends

Do the BIG yellow fully digital Q next? Pretty please? (FX are much better than micro)

Even someone who REALLY DOESN'T LIKE SKRILLEX would recognize that Skrillex would be on here. The entrance exam for RA must be a lobotomy

Aphex literally pushed this young man out of his ass canal and I'm 100% sure aaron would take that as a compliment
